About The Event
Join Pop Up! Productions in this developmental reading of Mata Gee, a new play by Shailly Agnihotri. This presentation is the culmination of a seven-day, 20-hour rehearsal process, culminating in a non-equity presentation aimed at bringing this project to its next stage of development.
Told in seven parts, Mata Gee follows four generations of women from the Partition of India to present-day New York. It is nonlinear and ensemble-driven, blending memory, movement, and humor to explore displacement, inherited identity, and the stories that shape us across generations.
This play will be followed by a facilitated discussion with the audience about the future of the piece.
